The Ballad of the Porcupines

by David M. Woods

(Sung to the theme from "Gilligan's Island")


Just sit right back and hear our plan,
A plan for a free state,
That started with a wild idea
That freedom cannot wait!

The founder was a libertarian
Could this work? Who'd have guessed?
Five thousand members took a vote:
Which state was the best?
Which state was the best?

The government is getting large,
And businesses get tossed.
If we don't all move to one small state,
Our freedom will be lost.
Our freedom will be lost!

The FSP chose New Hampshire,
To build a better home
With liberty,
Low taxes, too
For entrepreneurs,
And everyone.
20-K of us
And our kin
Are moving to Porcupine Land!
